최고

엄청 재미있고 시간도 짧다고 생각하진 않네요. 다른 젯보트에 비해서 급류를 타게되고 영화 촬영장소도 잠깐 들릅니다. 가장자리에 앉았는데 미스트 수준이 아니고 세안하고 상하반신 샤워하는 수준으로 젖습니다. 맨 앞자리도 재미있습니다.

You wont regret it!

The team at rapid jets made the experience a 10/10 for me. Lots of humor and fun. They listened and supported each rider along the way. Riding with Rapid Jets was definetly an experience my family will never forget.

Okay

Staff were lovely but it wasn’t as exciting as I had hoped and so I thought it was a bit over priced and scenery was average.
